Noob PBEM question

Sorry for the stupid question. TOAW3 is installed on a different computer to the one I have access to the internet on. Can I still play by email by porting the turn to the other computer on CD / floppy? How big are the file sizes on average?

Yes, you can. The file sizes, unzipped, are usually around 250K - 600K depending on the size of the scenario.

There shouldn't be a problem. PBM files are commonly slightly larger than the size of the original scenario file; in other words, never larger than 850kb (and down to as little as 10% of that). There should be no problem putting the on an old-fashioned diskette.

(edit) Dang it, James....
